David Pacheco Tanaka is a University Researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology. His work focuses on advancing membrane technologies for energy and environmental applications, particularly in hydrogen production, carbon capture, and separation processes. He collaborates extensively on projects involving membrane reactors, fluidized bed systems, and sustainable material design. Research interests include developing carbon molecular sieve membranes for CO₂/CH₄ separation, optimizing steam methane reforming processes, and enhancing membrane performance under extreme conditions (e.g., elevated temperatures/pressures). His contributions bridge experimental studies, process design, and economic feasibility analyses. Publications highlight advancements in membrane-assisted hydrogen production, CO₂ capture from biogas, and propionic acid separation. Collaborations span international teams, with notable work on Pd-Ag membranes and electroless plating techniques. No awards are explicitly listed, but his research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable clean energy (SDG 7) and climate action (SDG 13). Supervised one documented work, though student names are not provided.
